Ingredients

• 6 pieces Eggs
• 6 pieces Red chili peppers
• 4 pieces Shallots
• 3 pieces Garlic cloves
• 2 medium-sized Tomatoes
• 3 tablespoons Coconut oil (or other gluten-free cooking oil)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Sugar
• 1 tablespoon Lime juice
• 1 tablespoon Gluten-free soy sauce or tamari
• 2 tablespoons Water

Directions

Step 1

Place the eggs in a pot, cover them with water, and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes.

Step 2

Once cooked, transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool. Peel the shells off and set the eggs aside.

Step 3

In a blender or food processor, combine the red chili peppers, shallots, garlic, and tomatoes. Blend into a smooth paste.

Step 4

Heat the coconut oil in a deep skillet over medium heat. Add the blended chili paste and sauté for 5–7 minutes until fragrant and the oil starts to separate from the paste.

Step 5

Season the chili paste with salt, sugar, lime juice, and gluten-free soy sauce or tamari. Stir well to combine.

Step 6

Add 2 tablespoons of water to the skillet and mix to loosen up the sauce slightly.

Step 7

Gently add the peeled hard-boiled eggs to the skillet, rolling them carefully to coat them evenly in the sauce.

Step 8

Lower the heat and simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the eggs to absorb the flavors of the sauce.

Step 9

Remove from the heat and transfer the Telur Balado to a serving dish. Serve warm with steamed rice or enjoy on its own.
